Free Republic Voting Thread: 2006 Today's Toons Favorites (Final Round)

The preliminary round went pretty well. The voting reduced the 180 items in that round to the remaining 44 (included ties) listed in random order below. As it turned out, any item that received < 8 votes was eliminated. 5 items received no votes at all.

There are some "rules" here, but not many. When selecting your favorites, use your own criteria. Some like funny, clever, pithy, touching, etc. Some like cartoons, photoshops, animations, etc. So, judge each entry unto itself. As the one who adds click-on audios, videos, pics, toons to existing entries, I judge these to be part of that entry as a whole...you, of course, can ignore that if you wish...but only at your own peril ;-)

Each entry is numbered (1-44). Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to send me (via comment in this thread/FReepmail/e-mail) the numbers in order of preference of your 10 (or less, if you can't find 10 that you like) favorites. If you are caught sending > 10, I won't disavow your existence, but will ask you to remove any excess. This offer will self-destruct at 7 PM ET, Sunday, January 14, 2007. Scoring will be as follows: A 1st-place vote will get 10 pts., a 2nd-place vote earns 9 pts., ..., down to a 10th-place vote getting 1 pt. Good luck!

If certain pics/toons don't download (even after a refresh/reload), send me their numbers (which will show up) & I'll try to help. The detailed results of this final vote will be posted on Monday, January 15, 2007. The decision of the judge (Today's Toons editor-in-chief) is final! Questions? Bring it on! And now, on with the show!!

P.S. If you'd like to inquire about possibly helping with the Best Of 2007, FReepmail me ASAP & I'll tell you what would be involved. A few of you were disappointed that some of your favorite cartoons didn't make it into the preliminary round; here's your chance to make sure that this doesn't happen again...so speak now or forever hold your peace!!

P.P.S. Did I remember to say in order of preference?

Thanks for voting, kidd (who still has 1 point left)!

[pookie18]

You're welcome & thanks for voting, TET1968!

[pookie18]

When I see a list in numerical order, I have to ask if this is also your order of preference. Also, you have up to 4 other picks remaining. Will wait to hear from you before I tally your vote.

[pookie18]

OK, if I am the mahapookmeister, you must be the voter...but I don't see your ballot...yet...

[pookie18]

Mornin' & thanks for voting, righthand man!

[pookie18]

Thanks for voting, proudpapa!

[pookie18]

Thanks for voting, wacko rightwinger!

[pookie18]

Thanks for voting, barker!

[pookie18]

Thanks, traditional1! (you have 1 more pick if you opt to use it)

[pookie18]

You're welcome & thanks for voting, 4aardvarks! (you have 1 more pick should you choose to use it)

[pookie18]

Thanks for your also-rans selections, BufordP! ;-)

[pookie18]

One more thing, wildbill...I'm not going to tally your vote until you let me know that your numerically ordered ballot actually represents your order of preference. Thanks.

[traditional1]

I couldn't come up with a single number 10; too hard to choose the last one.

They're all excellent, just 9 of my more favorite picks were there.

[BufordP]

I guess I should be happy my sign made the top umpty-ump. Alas, nobody remembers who came in umpty-ump. There are no trophies, no plaques, no cigars for umpty-ump place.

[pookie18]

OK. Thanks.

[pookie18]

Think of it this way: It made the top 180 out of > 13,000...not too shabby!

[BufordP]

Okay. I feel better now.
:-)

[YourAdHere]

Actually my list was an inside joke, which I'm sure fans of Lost will get. : )

[pookie18]

Oh. In that case, you have until Sunday to submit a real ballot...

[MoochPooch]

Okay, my choices (preference, as best I could):

7, 2, 19, 21, 36, 6, 10, 12, 24, 26
